FlOur-The Market Record says: This
market continues dull and prices steady.
Millers are making very little effort now for
new business and probably will not until
January. The wheat market stands up well
which encourages them in the belief that it
will be quite as well to wait quietly for the
activity that is expected in a few weeks. The
impression seems to prevail here that gen.
eral stocks are not large anywhere. Millers
were free buyers of wheat to-day as they
have been for several days. There were
few small orders in for prompt shipment but
further than that there was little doing. Pat.

there were some sales of bran at $3.50.
Some held at $14, and few asked even
